Perhaps I will wait for a year for the Mavic 2 Pro price to drop back to their introduction price before buying.
Edit: The pain scale of crashing one's drone has gone up another notch. A $2000 drone doing the dirt dive is gonna hurt, for awhile.

Too expensive for a mid to low range camera clarity-wise. I do agree color and dynamic range are superb, however the sharpness... just look at all those videos on youtube, look at the leafs, the trees, the grass, branches - all look like a blob of color instead of defined objects. Very disappointing! I had the mavic 2 pro combo in the shopping cart, but no longer providing my credit card number. At this price point the extremely soft image @ 4k FFOV is just not worth it. This is not a Hasselblad iconic image quality! Colors / dynamic range - maybe yes,  but definitely not the clarity and resolution! Some compare clarity to 2.7k up-scaled to 4k. I'd rather say it is a true FHD upscale to 4k.  What is the point of having turbocharged V12 engine under the hood running 4 cylinders at most!?

Ordered my MP2 Hasselblad last Friday... - Many were nay sayers when MP came out... Mine has been a dream come true.

I find it funny how peoples expectations usually exceed the products abilities and somehow they are the expert on manufacturing, photography and world wide distribution. Whatever.

i think the reason goes way beyond what everyone else has mentioned here. i think this was more along the lines on tariffs imposed to China by the US, and DJI adjusting to maintain the profit margins they set at onset of product offering. but again, that is just my opinion.

ALL in ALL, great product and im very impressed and happy with it.

I'm in agreement with your broader world view.

We need more folks like yourself on this forum and I'm glad you are enjoying the Mavic 2!

Why is the price in dollars the same as in Euro's? The difference is € 218,- less (= $ 255,-) if I order the Pro2 by another Chin. vendor ?

Great, I hope you have lots of fun, in the house and flying, the MP is STILL a great drone.

Yes, I am having a ton of fun with the MP.
As long as you know it's limitations (camera wise) it is a great tool to have in 'the bag'.

I’m not to sure I follow this, you think it’s tarif between US and China , how do you square this with price increase in Europe, when no new tariffs apply between China and Europe, and the fact that increase is almost 8% higher in Europe than the US
Do you think dji are penalizing Europeans for Mr Trumps spurious tariffs ?

I do agree it’s a great product.

Hello Hallmark, like i said it is only my educated opinion on the subject, plus the laws of economics could also be playing one in here, supply and Demand, high Demand allows companies to increase price as well.  but the country (China) could very well be hiking prices on goods to counteract the tariffs imposed on them.  trade wars in this new world global economy end up affecting all regardless of who they are between.  again just my 2 cents on the subject, im not saying that is exacatly what is causing it.

Cheers Mate and sorry to hear that it went up in EU as well.

If President Trump is introducing import tariffs on goods imported from Chine I can only see the price going up even higher.

The timing of the increase is interesting as is the application of the price increase across other markets.

'Do you think dji are penalizing Europeans for Mr Trumps spurious tariffs ?'

Short answer is 'yes', any company that is fortunate enough to be able to cushion the tariffs across other markets outside the US will absolutely do so. The US market is to big for DJI and they can't afford to risk losing huge amounts of sales, which would most definitely happen if they didn't spread the pain across all their markets.

Putting up prices was bad enough, and a bit underhanded, but if your going to put up your prices do it by percentage,
Europeans shouldn’t have to pay for mistakes made by a Clown.

Wow, there are SO many whiny, entitled people. And so many people complaining about a drone they don't even have because of a bunch of idiot Youtubers who don't know anything about shooting and editing video but feel its important that they spew their ignorant opinions to "save" others from making a terrible "mistake" and buying the Mavic 2 Pro with its "horrible," "deeply flawed" camera.

I guess all is considered fair in love and war. In a way DJI has its own war and I think they consider the European customers as more fortunate, 'willing and able' to pay more then the US customers.

I feel the pain of the tariff effects, weekly, but I'm just willing to pay more for my weekly bottle of Bourbon because basically, I'm able to afford it... (but don't like it off course...)

Hey guys.. it's been a whole 10 minutes so I just wanted to mention... Is this Mavic 2 Pro with or without fish-eye hasselblad camera?   HAR HAR HAR I called it a fish-eye Hasselblad for the 80th time guys.... I'm awesome.

I disagree with you. the majority of "soft" videos on YouTube are because:

1. YouTube is heavily compressed. In a iOs device you can only wach 1080p

I do appreciate your response trying to provide argumentative justification from your standpoint, however if you disagree with my point, why would you "report" it?

I don't have an iPhone, however I do have a professional Dell monitor, and it does not take much time to identify clearly soft image issue with a 1500k drone. DJI advertised but did not deliver. Plane simple as that.

I am sorry for the misunderstanding, I didn't clicked intentionaly on any "Report" buton, I don't know how this happened, I apologize.

i also opened a thread proving the relation between the Aperture and the Sharpness on th M2P. As I mentioned, f/11 is clearly soft because of diffraction.

No offense taken. That report button does seem like a "reply", at least it is positioned where we would normally expect a reply button to be.

I do appreciate people opening their claims to DJI for not delivering what was advertised. Maybe they will get more sensitive with the issue and weight their options in favor of consumers.

Hi MTC

I really like my new M2P and the only problem I have is the unbalanced gimbal when powered off. DJI told me it was okay, so I have been flying it     

I think DJI needs some pricing space for the new P5P (IMO) it might be in the price range of $1800 - $1999 to hold it above the Mavic series

Hasselblad belongs to DJI ;-)

That's not quite correct - DJI invested money in Hasselbald stocks - so they own a part of it.
